As the sea ice melts due to climate change, the trend of polar bears getting thinner and having fewer cubs has been well documented in areas such as Baffin Bay, a stretch of ocean between Greenland ...

Scientists have reported some rare good news from the Arctic. As the climate changes and the ice melts, in one region at least, polar bears are thriving — finding new ways to survive, and even packing ...

Polar bears are the poster children of climate change—and for good reason. These giant bears hunt, mate and spend their days hanging out on Arctic sea ice, which is rapidly disappearing as the climate ...

The finding offers a small window of hope for a polar bear population vulnerable to the effects of climate change. A polar bear (Ursus maritimus) walks on pack ice in Svalbard, Norway. The effects ...

The polar vortex is sending arctic blasts and chilly temperatures to most of the United States, and states from Texas to Oklahoma could see snow, sleet and ice. As of Wednesday, Jan. 21, millions of ...

With climate change steadily dismantling the icy habitat essential to their existence, new research suggests polar bears are rapidly rewiring their own genetics in a bid to survive. Limited time: Save ...

The Arctic Ocean current is at its warmest in the last 125,000 years, and temperatures continue to rise. Due to these warming temperatures more than two-thirds of polar bears are expected to be ...

New research reveals a link between rising temperatures and changes in polar bear DNA, which may be helping them adapt and survive in increasingly challenging environments. The study by scientists at ...

High above the North Pole, in a slice of atmosphere rarely noticed and even less understood, a transformation is underway. Over the next 10 days, changes in the stratosphere will upend weather ...
